## Abstract Fragility curves express the probability of structural damage due to earthquakes as a function of ground motion indices, e.g., PGA, PGV. Based on the actual damage data of highway bridges from the 1995 HyogokenβNanbu (Kobe) earthquake, a set of empirical fragility curves was constructed
## Abstract To foster the use of seismic isolation in structures, existing guidelines strive to formulate design methods which are simple and accessible to nonβspecialized engineers. On the other hand, not all of the simplifying provisions adopted by the norms can be said to have been adequately te
In this paper, the effect of the stiffness of the rubber pads on the dynamic characteristics of a base-isolated bridge is examined using transfer functions in the frequency domain. A three dimensional structural model that accounts for continuous mass distribution along each member is used. Results
